Yesterdays game between the Los
Angeles nine and the Haverlys of San
Francisco, was but a repetition of the
other two, although the attendance
at the grounds was much larger. The
home nine succeeded in defeating the
visitors worse than they have ever
been defeated before. These three
victories conclusively show of what
metal the home club is composed,
and how little chance there is for any
of the California League to compete
with Los Angeles for supremacy. 1t

five, for illusions vanish as the tender
sex get older. But the elder Cusquenos
say, with laugh, "We are Indians; what
is the use of denying it?" while the
younger ones-the marriageable bellies
stick to the Cinderella foot, and contend
for their Spanish origin.
There are several classes of women in
Cuzco. The tradeswoman clings to the
shroud-like robe mentioned above, but
the aristocratic danes affect the modern
styles, although some of the gaudy cos
tunes that came from Paris years ago are
still worn at balls. l have seen the haut
ton of Cuzco decked out in the styles that
crazed Paris in 1920, and one has but to
be here on fete day, which comes very
often, to see some wonderful displays
in feminine fashion.
The Cosquenos (men), wrapped in their
clOaks, parade the streets with the dignity
of born emperors. Now and then they
turn their heads and eject some cigarette
smoke in a lordly manner, and pass on
as if they possessed fourth of the globe.
The educated Cosqueno is generally a
theologian or lawyer-that is, he af-
fects to be such. Peru is a country of
rapid transformations. Men step from
the bar to the rank of general in the
army, and even to the Presidents chair.

Its famous street, the Gale de las Hela-
derias, is devoted to the trade in sherbets
and ices. Here the Cosquenos take their
ease and discuss everything but the well
fare of the republic. Here one is always
seeing the rotund priest, with his huge
umbrella of red tafeta, without which
the ecclesiastical toilet is incomplete,
and now and then muffled something
waddles by. You have to look the
second time to see that it is woman
and not a great scarabeus out for a
promenade. Strange scenes these are,
but we must remember that Cuzco is full
of such, and pass on.
The women of Cuzco have brown skins
and well-rounded figures. Their great
ambition is to prove their Andalusian
descent, and were you to ask one if she

ready people, and the streets and plazas
soon become veritable crush of human
ity. The streets of an American town on
"circus day" can show nothing like it.
The preliminaries of the fete are hur-
ried through with, and the people shout
for the appearance of the "Christ of
Earthquakes" whose brilliant entrance
into the city eclipses all other events.
AT four o'clock in the afternoon all the
bells are set ringing, every squib and
petoro left in the city is fired off, and
the salvos of howitzers add to the din.
This is the prelude that ushers in the
procession. 1t is seen to issue from one
of the gates of the Cathedral, in which
thousands of wax candles shine like
glow worms. The huge images, each
carried by eight men, are moved through
the dense crowds. First comes the image
of San Bias, then San Benito and San
Christoval. After the last patron saint,
moves San Jose, the husband of Mary,
clad in the garments of Carmelite pill
grim.
Nobody seems to care for these images.
All eyes are looking for the "Man- God"

YOUTHFUL HEROINES,
Two Girls Who Have Been Given Medals
for Great Bravery.


for Great Bravery.
The committee of the Royal Humane So
ciety has just completed the investigation of
large number of cases of saving life from
drowning, and has unanimously awarded
the highest honor-the silver medal-to
young lady named Fanny Sabell Rowe, only
fifteen years of age, daughter of the Rev. J.
C. Rowe, vicar of Topcroft, Burgnay, for
saving the life of a lad named Francis, at
Neuchatel, under circumstances of great
gallantry. 1t appears from the documents
forwarded to the society that the lad was
playing by the jetty with his brother, when
he fell into the deep water of the lake. His
brother jumped in to save him, but not being
able to swim was soon in difficulties. A
number of men ran about crying out, who
can swim ?" but no one attempted to rescue
the lads until Miss Rowe came up,
kicked off her shoes, but otherwise fully
dressed, without moments hesitation,
rushed into the water and swan to the place.
Owed and caught the younger brother, but
could not keep her hold of him, his hair be-
ing too short. She dived again and caught
him this time by the ear and brought him
to the jetty, where he was lifted out. The
elder brother was also saved by Miss Rowe,
although the circumstances have not been
reported to the society. The bronze medal
was also unanimously bestowed upon Miss
NJ. Strachey, aged seventeen, daughter of
her majesty's charge d'affaires at Dresden,
for saving Miss Taylor at Sandy Island,
Heligoland, on the 10th ult. Miss Taylor
was trying to swim, but got out of her depth
and sank, and was being carried out by the
tide when Miss Strachey, with great presence
of mind, swan to the rescue, and Selling
hold of Miss Taylor brought her to the shore
in fainting condition. The heroic young
lady is considered to have incurred very great
risk, as she is of very slight build.-Dublin

NEWSPAPERS AND PREJUDICE.
Some Remarks on the Supposed Manner
of Running the Former.

OF Running the Former.
The charming and graceful writer,
Charles Dudley Warner, has alluded
to the newspaper as "that truculent in
strument for the dissemination of the
prejudices of the few among the many"
Mr.. Warner was himself in charge of
newspaper at New Haven for some time,
and this is the way in which he has seen
fit to talk about a business that did not
pay him as much as he considered his
services were worth.
Mr.. Warmers criticism Is harsh. The
dissemination or the obliteration of
prejudice is secondary object with the
average newspaper. 1t is published to
make money. 1t is business enterprise,
like grocery or dry-goods house. Of
course this does not apply to papers
started to advocate particular theory.
Newspapers with mission are sui generis;;
they are as Independent of the ordinary
rules of their business as they usually are
of logic and consistency. But normal
journalistic enterprise is initiated and
conducted to fill Its proprietor's pocket.
1t follows that the editorial department
in a newspaper is generally dominated by
the counting-room; the busy scribblers
who grind out" manuscript by the yard
on the sixth floor are instructed as to mat
ter and tone land carefully supervised as to
phraseology. Their personal prejudices
are entirely suppressed, unless they hap
pen to harmonic with the policy of the
paper; and into that policy enter, as most
influential, If not controlling factors,
pecuniary considerations, overmastering
many prejudice of the proprietor him
self
Within the limits thus prescribed
every journalist of decent personality de-
sires to help along the cause of right.
His instinct is to express that opinion
toward which his moral sentiments in
cline him, and to so comment on the
events of the day as to make his readers
the better and cheerier for his editorials.
He grows accustomed to ignoring
more impersonal view of affairs,
and, therefore, more healthy
view, than the average man of any
other calling. If he has prejudices, they
are well known, as a rule to his readers
and are generally confessed with candor
that disarms animosity and enables every
one to estimate the true value of his
reasoning upon the topic under con-
sideration.
Even a party organ soon makes its
position apparent to a new subscriber;
and after that he has only himself to
blame if he attaches more weight to
what it says than is due to the utter
ances of an avowed advocate.

DEvoURED BY FLORIDA SHARKS.
A Majl-carrier's Horrible Death Struggle
With the Man-eaters.

With the Man-eaters.
James E. Hamilton, the mal-carrier be-
tween Miami and Lake Worth, on the South
Atlantic coast of Florida, was devoured by
man-eaters at Hillsboro' Inlet Tuesday. He
was stout, athletic young man and carried
the mail between the two places, distance
of seventy-tive miles, on his back, walk
ing on the beach most of the Way
The inlet is dangerous crossing, the
back waters of the Everglades meeting the
tides and producing heavy and dangerous
seas. Sharks of the most ravenous kind
abound there. An old fisherman, who was
within half a mile of Hamilton when he be-
gan crossing, describes the tragedy as hor-
rible occurrence. When Hamilton reached
the middle Of the inlet the sharks flocked
about his boat, leaping ten feet or more out
OF the water in their eagerness to get at hui
man flesh.
Hamilton fought them with his oars, but
soon both were bitten off and dashed out of
his hands. Then they assailed the boat,
tearing huge pieces off the gunwale. Soon
it began to sink, and Hamilton became stu
pefied with fear. Another blow ON the frail
boat and he was thrown headlong into the
masses of fierce seawolves. One shrek
of agony and all was over. The
sea was dyed for yards around with
his life blood. Searching parties were sent
out, but nothing found. Hamilton's death
was such horrible one that no mail carrier
over that route has yet been secured.

the altar, and the porter hands him large
key He unlocks the outer door and finds
inside another key, and unlocks similar
door. Finally a third door is opened
and displays the celebrated relic within
a glass case resting on satin cushion. 1t
is brought out, and after crossing himself
the priest lifts the glass case and allows
one to inspect it. The crown itself is a
broad hoop of gold adorned with precious
stones, which are set around the hoop in
diamond or half diamond shapes. Around
the interior is thin strip of iron said
to have been made from one of the
nails of the true cross, and brought
by the Empress Helena from Pales-
tine. Thirty-four Lombard kings have
been crowned with this venerable relic,
and it is the same one that Napo-
leon placed on his head with the
words, "God has placed it there;
let any one disturb it who dares."
After having viewed the relic to your
hearts content the priest carefully puts
1t back in its glass case, crosses himself,
again mounts the stairs and places it
within it's much locked casket. He goes
through the locking of the doors, hands
the keys to the porter, the censor is
swung again, and the priest, after getting
his fee, departs.
These are perhaps the largest fees that
are charged for any single relic In Italy
($1) Generally it is one lire, which
is equal to franc, or twenty cents, and
this is given to the custodian, or guide,
who shows you around. If it is small
party he is quite content with twenty
cents but If there are more than two or
three persons, you have to pay more.
You have to pay no matter where it is,
when, or how, that fee comes out, and
the avidity with which the Americans
pay it makes one think they are in the
habit of going to dime museums, or lib
orally feeling for whatever they see.

you, and you go miles to see them, and
find after all they are nothing much, or
nothing very interesting. You look
around among old tombs, poke your
head in little holes down in the cata-
combs to see bone, or piece of bone,
hundreds of years old, or look with great
interest as a monk points out a bit of
paint or daub which he says is piece of
ancient fresco work that was done
many years ago by people who lived
under the earth to escape persecution.
Of course it is very interesting to see
these tombs where people lived and
died, and you cannot help but won
der how such things could be; but when
you go into churches and they take you
into some crypts or sealed-up tombs and
ask you for dollar to show you golden
coffin of some dead celebrity, it seems far
worse than if you paid ten cents to see
an armless wonder or bearded lady in
an American dime museum
remember in Milan when the guide,
after taking me over the roof of that
wonderful Cathedral, showing me the
thousands of life-size figures placed
upon tall spires hundreds of feet from

and see the tomb for one franc, but if he
wants to look at the interior, and see the
thousands of dollars worth Of jewels put
in there by the admirers or worshipers of
the dead archbishop, he has to pay an ex-
ira tribute, and then the ceremony be-
gins.

A TOO JEALOUS SERVANT.
How a Lady's Maid Removed Caterpillars
from Her Mistress Dress.

How Lady's Maid Removed Caterpillars
from Her Mistress Dress.
When Mrs. Smith was in Paris she paid
fabulous sum for a sort of bourette cloth
that had at intervals something like cater
pillars woven into the loose mesh of the
wool. The weather is cool enough to wear
that odd but fine attire, and she longed to
exhibit her unique toilet. She laid the dress
out and babe her new dressing maid remove
the hastings that had held some plaitings in
place during its travels. She left the
luncheon table at two and found her smart
maid with a sharp pair of scissors picking
out the chinks of colored floss silk that had
made so gorgeous material of plain bou-
rette.
''They looked for all the world like cater
pillars, ma'am," said the girl, "but I've got
the most of 'em off,
Mrs. Smith sat down and wept, but the
unfeeling Smith husband laughed and de-
clared that he hadn't been SO tickled since
he touched woman in the theatre and said,
You have a spider on your shoulder,
ma ann" and the woman jumped to her
feet and screamed, 'Take it off. Where is it ?"
Then Smith pointed out a finely executed
spider in enamel for which she had paid
S25, and pinned carefully on her shoulder
before leaving the house.

ing more than II 900 feet above the sea-
Cuzco is continually under a cloud"
From October to January the dull sky
softens little, and now and then sun
beam struggles down to the thronged
streets. Then it is that Cuzco proceeds
to take holiday, and people of all classes
flock to the valleys of Yucay and IRA
bambay beyond the city to carouse among
the strawberry and the peach.
In some respects Cuzco is one of the
wonderful cities of the world-founded
by the Incas, captured by Pizarro, and
INTELLECTUALLY beautified by the Jesuits.
The traveller who climbs to the cupola
of the Convent of Mercy beholds land
scape at once beautiful and imposing.
He is at the head OF a valley nine miles
in length, and bounded by mountains of
majestic elevation. Against the city on
the north rises Sacsahuaman, crowned
by an old fortress of the Incas, and
under its perch and through the city
itself, dividing it like scimitar of sill
yer, flows the torrent of Huatanay.
This river is the natural sewer of Cuzco,
and in summer one can count innumer-
able smells arising from its bed-not one
of which invites him to linger for a
second Whit.
The Cuzco of to-day is, of course, the
Cuzco of the Peruvian and the Spaniard.
